Andreea is great at understanding your needs, seeing where you want to go and giving you clear direction and guidance on how to get there. I'm now fully booked 2 years in advance with dream clients. I've increased my prices dramatically - almost 300%! I'm definitely more confident with both marketing and selling my wedding planning services and I now have more systems in place that allow me to be more in control.

-AMANDA COSTA THOMPSON-

I couldn't recommend Andreea highly enough! The service she offers is unique and was completely customised to my needs. I feel I have so much more knowledge and confidence from working with her. She is friendly and easy to talk to whilst being so professional and knowledgeable. She has so much to offer your business. And she always goes above and beyond to help. She has a real passion for her work and it shows. It is clear that she invests a lot of thought, time and effort into your business and thrives on seeing the success of others. From my brand, processes, marketing and first styled shoot, her insight has been invaluable. 

-Charli Doran-

You gave me support when I felt lost. Working with you gave me clarity on the direction I wanted to go and on my ideal client. From your support I increased my prices and I feel more confident. I'm booking more clients that look like my ideal client and most importantly I don’t feel guilty anymore for saying no to clients who are not for me.

here's what we can address in one of these sessions:

BROWSE TOPICS

Does any of this ring a bell?
If yes, then consider booking:

A 90-minute intensive to address one of these topics

A brand audit to discuss everything from business identity to website and portfolio

A brand immersion day for a deep-dive into all of them.

business identity

“My business isn't in tune with who I am as a person. I've been following what everyone else is doing and it doesn't feel right. How can I build my business around my personality and strengths?”

Ideal Client

“I need to clarify my ideal client and figure out
how to find them.”

Offers

“I need help elevating my offers so I can charge more and work with high-end clients. I want to create an offer that’s tailored to both me and my ideal client.”

Website

“Is my website converting as well as it should? What can I do to make it better and get more inquiries?”

Portfolio

“I'm not sure my portfolio is attracting the right clients. I need a direction and help curating an impeccable portfolio that is sure to bring in my dream clients.”

Marketing and Visibility

“My marketing needs help. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.” “I don’t know where to start.” “I need to figure out
the right approach for me.” “I need help creating a
strategy-driven marketing plan.”

Sales

“I'm getting a lot of inquiries, but when I’m not ghosted, the clients I book aren’t part of my target audience. I need to find out what's wrong with my sales process.”

Processes

“I want to improve my processes to make my life easier and give my clients a better experience. What am I missing? What could I be doing better?”

and here's how it works

Get in touch and tell me what you need help with, and what type of session you'd like to book.

I’ll email you back with a link to my calendar, so you can choose a time slot for the Brewing Session and pay the booking fee.

02

Once you've booked your session, you’ll be redirected to a questionnaire. Please submit your answers right away, ahead of our appointment, so we can focus on solutions during the call.

Attend the session and get clarity, a fresh perspective, direction and tailored solutions, to transform your business.

Finally, you’ll receive a recording of the call. If you book a brand audit you’ll also get a personalised guide with recommendations and next steps.

That's perfectly normal. Part of my job is to help you figure out what's not working so well and then tell you how to fix it.

So, just drop me an email using this contact form - and give me a detailed view of your business and what you're struggling with at the moment (getting enquiries, getting enquiries from the right clients, converting, feeling overwhelmed with the amount of work you do, not earning enough, etc.).
I'll get back to you with a link for you to book what I believe to be the most appropriate session for you - and why I believe so :).

Answer

No - I'm afraid 90 minutes is not enough to get into enough depth with more than one topic. Instead I recommend you pick the most pressing topic and book a 90-minute consultation to discuss that. After that you can book a second one for another topic, when you need to tackle that aspect of your business, or a 45-minute follow-up session (we can chat about this option after the first session).

Alternatively you can book a Brand Audit for a detailed look at how aligned your brand is, or a Brand Immersion day for a comprehensive review of your brand, processes and business overall.

Answer

No. But you do get 10% off any item in the Asset Library when you book your first Brewing Session. You will receive a discount code after the session.

Answer

Absolutely. When you book a 90-minute consultation you get a questionnaire where you get to choose what you want to discuss in the session. If you select "Sales" you'll be asked to share your proposal and details of your current booking process. I'll review everything and during the session I'll give you my feedback and we'll discuss improvements (if necessary).

This review is also included when you book a Brand Immersion day.

To get the most out of working with me, I suggest first to get my Brilliant Client Proposals course and template collection, and after you've worked on your proposal with the help of those resources, book a Brewing Session to get my help on fine tuning the final details.

Answer

A. With consultancy I identify problems and offer you solutions based on my expertise.

B. With coaching I guide you through a process of finding answers and solutions yourself and we develop strategies together based on the insights we gain from this process.

I wholeheartedly believe in a holistic approach to business support which is why, in my Brewing Sessions I offer a mix of consultancy and coaching, depending on what each stage or situation requires.

Answer

No. All Brewing Sessions are paid in full at the time of booking.




Answer

The 90-minute consultation and brand audit are only available as zoom calls. However for the Brand Immersion Day, if you're based in the UK and are willing to travel to London, we can meet in person.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Andreea. An insanely multi-talented individual who, I can also attest to being warm, calm and totally committed to delivering ‘my dream’, way beyond my own expectations. Andreea’s attention to detail and execution was beyond perfect! She certainly has raised the bar for me.

-Cynthia Grafton-Holt-

It's incredible how you took some vague ideas in my head and turned into something I couldn't even have imagined myself, yet somehow it's exactly what I wanted. I hope you know how grateful I am for your brilliant work and for going above and beyond what I expected. Can't wait for us to do many more projects in the future.

-Stine Bustillo-

Working with Andreea was a dream come true. The coaching sessions have changed my way of thinking and working. And the biggest accomplishment has been the growth in my self-confidence. She pushed me to do better, to trust myself, and to not give up.

When she presented my new brand identity I cried because it is exactly what I was dreaming of and so unexpected - PERFECT. Thanks to her direction and the proposal she designed for my editorial I've been able to work with some of the best suppliers and it's helped me get featured in an international wedding blog. None of this would have been possible without her work.

-Clemence Poirot-

Slow down.
take in the view.
Let everything sink in.

The best ideas bloom when we feel most at ease and rested.

how it works

A peek into The Teastyle Brand Infusion Method

My approach to brand and client experience curation is anchored in centuries' old Chinese tea brewing tradition. An immersive process that fosters mindfullness, clarity and connection, and delivers impeccable quality each time. One where every element and step is carefully and purposefully selected, to cultivate intuitive, deep discussions, thoughtful introspection, and allow just the right amount of time for inspiration to brew.

-

With my support, you’ll create a compelling client experience, a tailor-made brand that speaks deeply to your dream clients. We'll also curate a process that gives you room to breathe and is rooted in your strengths, honing in on the fundamental touchpoints you need to attract, convert, and serve your target audience with clarity and confidence.

At the end of the day, I’m on a mission to better your brand with the embracing warmth and comfort of a fragrant cup of tea on a crisp autumn morning.


Phase
one

Business Core

As the foundation of everything you’ve built in your business, consider your brand ground zero. In order to take your brand to the next level, you have to bring it back to basics.

Using your individuality as the starting point for everything we do, we'll spend 6 weeks clarifying the cornerstones of your business, from your offers and aesthetic to your ideal client avatar. Your unique identity will guide us to a brand that stands alone–one that represents your inherent magic as well as it communicates your personality, promise, and position as a business.

the steps we're going to follow

browse the steps

step
1

Discover your Core BUSINESS identity

The core identity of a business reveals the unique strengths, values and personality of the founder upon which every aspect of the business is built. In this phase, we’ll discover your story, define your niche, and identify what makes you stand out.

step
2

DEFINE AN IDEAL
CLIENT PERSONA

Based on what we defined in the first step, I’ll guide you through a series of questions to create an Ideal Client Persona that will inform our choices for brand direction, aesthetic and client experience. We’ll discuss your answers, highlight the takeaways, and create a client mood board.

step
3

Refine Your Unique
offer(s)

With your Ideal Client Persona in mind, we’ll work to curate and clarify your offer suite to a unique proposition they can't say no to.

step
4

DEFINE the BRAND IDENTITY AND POSITIONING

In this phase, we’ll collaborate to create a new brand identity. Whether you choose to DIY or hire a brand designer to execute the effort, you can count on my creative direction to guide every choice and curate your story.

Over three weeks, your new brand identity will take shape as we curate each key element:

  1. Brand archetypes and mood board
  2. Color palette, typography, logo
  3. Brand voice, tone and story
  4. Brand positioning and strategy
  5. Portfolio curation
step
5

BRAND SHOOT direction and PORTFOLIO BUILD

This optional step is available when you need to build a portfolio to match your new brand. For styled shoots or brand shoots, I’ll provide creative direction, design and styling to match your elevated brand identity.

Phase
two

Client Experience

A client's experience with your brand is what they feel before, during and after their time with you. From aesthetic to inquiry to off-boarding and beyond, the measure of client experience is present in everything you do in your business.

And happy clients can be your greatest advocates. When it comes to the long-term success of your business, testimonials and referrals from delighted clients are just the beginning. Put simply? It’s imperative that you get every aspect of it right.

We’ll build on our work from Phase One to breathe life into the three stages of client experience. 

Atract

From social media, to public relations and networking we’ll look for the right strategies to atract your ideal client- strategies that work with your strengths, not against them, and build a holistic approach to your marketing and overall brand visibility. We'll create a tactical, aligned plan. that’s designed to make your life easy

I’ll show you how to convert your dream clients with an intuitive, client focused, high converting, beautifully designed website, carefully crafted to represent your business well in an ever-changing digital landscape. Following with sales savvy sans-sleaze for the perfect interview, and irresistible bespoke proposals.

You’ll master the art of serving clients and supporting every phase of their journey with a meticulous internal infrastructure of systems, processes, and templates that transform your client experience and leave no detail undocumented. Together we'll simplify and streamline your business for continued growth and sustainability.

how you can book

In The Brand Infusion Method, I work with only two clients at a time, so please reach out to inquire for availability.

Before we commit to working together, I want to make sure we're a good fit. So, I suggest we start with a 90-minute Brewing Session.

02

On inquiry, I'll email you a link to my calendar to book and pay for your Brewing Session. This session will be included in the full investment for the program if we decide to work together.

After booking your Brewing Session, you’ll be redirected to a questionnaire. Please submit your answers by the deadline, before our call, so we can focus on answers and actionable insights during.

If we decide to move forward, I'll review the details we discuss, to asses what we'll need to work on to bring your business where you want it. I'll then put together a customized proposal, with a brief project plan and timeline, tailored to your success.

01
04
03
06

Attend your Brewing Session and get valuable, actionable feedback for your brand. In that meeting, we'll determine whether The Brand Infusion Method is a good fit for you.

05

The process we go through in this programme is very thorough. It's about introspection and discovery, which takes time. In my experience the right answers and ideas need time to develop properly. And while I will guide you and give you direction, there's a great deal for you to sit with and answer on your own - the whole point is that we unveil what makes you unique to infuse into your business. 

18 weeks is my minimum recommended timeline. But there are other factors that will impact the actual timeline for you - like the extent of work needed for your business and whether you hire other creatives to help (i.e. coywriter, website designer) or do everything yoursellf - with my guidance.

Answer

Through creative direction I lead the discovery process and establish the initial identity that informs the brand development. After that I guide the entire branding process, by advising on every element, from colours and fonts to logo, brand voice and tone, and portfolio. Brand design on the other hand is the actual creation of the brand aesthetic elements, including the logo.

I used to do brand design but I recently decided to stop offering that service. I now focus on creative direction as part of a holistic service that looks at branding in the context of business as a whole. This service complements that of a designer.

Answer

No, I'm afraid not. This programme is designed for creatives who want someone to guide their entire business transformation from start to finish, who can maintain an overview of everything and help them keep everything aligned and consistent. 

Instead, I suggest you have a look at my 90-minute Brewing Sessions - that gives you the flexibility to address only one topic at a time, as and when you need it.  

Answer

A. With consultancy I identify problems and offer you solutions based on my expertise.

B. With coaching I guide you through a process of finding answers and solutions yourself and we develop strategies together based on the insights we gain from this process.

C. And with mentorship I guide and support you in your evolution as an entrepreneur and the improvement of your business. The focus here is on you, the person at the heart of the business, enhancing your expertise, your growth and how you achieve your desired goals
.

I wholeheartedly believe in a holistic approach to business support which is why, in my Brewing Sessions I offer a mix of consultancy and coaching, and in the Brand Infusion Method I offer all three, depending on what each stage or situation requires.

Answer

No. That happens only when you feel you need a complete overhaul of your business, which is no longer in alignment with who you are and your goals. If you're not sure about it, we'll explore this together in the initial Brewing Session.

Your current brand and website may very well be a great starting point, if you only need to shift a few aspects of your business and refine what you're already doing. In that case we work our way through each stage and only make changes where needed. The purpose of this programme is to identify everything that isn't on point and bring it where it needs to be.

Answer

No. You only hire these professionals if you want/need to. You're responsible for the actual implementation, so you decide if you want to do it yourself (i.e. buy a website template and customise it) or hire a professional to do it for you. I've had clients who were very confident in their design skills, who DIY-ed their brand and website with my guidance and had amazing results.

I'm happy to work either way - guiding you in the process or collaborating with a pro to get things done. But I'll say this, if you don't have the time or skills for a task, better hire a professional. That way you'll know the result will be the best it can be, while you can focus on serving your clients.




Answer

Yes. If you prefer to pay in installments, you'll need to pay a 50% deposit of the full price quoted when booking, and the rest can be split into 2-3 installments. 

Answer

No. Creative direction applies to aesthetic and other creative elements - such as design, copy, portfolio. Whereas coaching and consultancy applies to strategies and methodologies.

Answer

Yes. Portfolio and imagery curation is part of the "Branding" stage in Phase One and it's separate from the optional "Portfolio build" stage. Once all your brand elements are done, I will help you select the best brand imagery/video and curate your portfolio to help enhance your  brand visuals.

Answer

Both services look at your business in its entirety. So, it depends on how much you need to change to bring your brand and business where you want it, how much support you need along the way, if you need someone to show you how to do it, and whether you need a set timeline and an accountability partner.

With the Brand Immersion Day you get a comprehensive review and a plan for steps you need to take to move your business forward. And with the Brand Infusion Method you get my support and guidance along the way, as well as all my resources from the Asset Library.

Answer

No. I have primarily worked with service-based brands in the past because of my background in the events industry, but I would love to work with product-based brands as well as B-corp businesses and non-profit organisations. As long as our values and goals are aligned, I'm happy to help.

Answer

The programme is primarily focused on online support, with weekly zoom calls and slack messaging, to allow you the time and flexibility to work in and on your business with as little interruption as possible. However I would love to meet you in person. So, depending on where you're based and your willingness to travel into London, I will want to meet you in the final stage of our programme for an afternoon. But this is something we can discuss when we meet in the preliminary Brewing Session or later.

Every entrepreneur deserves a business without the pressure of unspoken expectations, people-pleasing, and unthinkable hours. A business without stress, overwhelm, and struggle. Every entrepreneur deserves a sustainable business, too.

Your success has a profound impact on others – including the planet.

To me this is the ultimate goal, the heart of my mission and the essence of my purpose – to support nature conservation by helping my community of small business owners and creatives build a future that's sustainable for themselves and the world.
